Including at least 3-4 cited references to the reading, discuss several barriers that can hinder healthy decision making.  Then, discuss a specific time in which you or someone you know personally applied a thoughtful decision-making process in a health-related situation.

Barriers that can hinder healthy decision making are problems like not having enough information, having too much information, too many people trying to decide, emotional attachments, and no emotional attachments. I know that not having enough information can hinder healthy decision making because the text informed me on how so, “you do not have enough information, it can feel like you are making a decision without any basis.  Take some time to gather the necessary data to inform your decision, even if the timescale is very tight.” This makes sense, it’s important to take time to gather data to inform your decision. Having too much information can also hinder healthy decision making as described in the text, “The opposite problem, but one that is seen surprisingly often: having so much conflicting information that it is impossible to see ‘the wood for the trees.’  This problem can often be resolved by deciding what information is really important and why, and by setting a clear timescale for decision-making, including an information-gathering stage.” I now understand why having too much information can hinder effective decision making, it’s confusing when there is so much information because it’s hard to tell what is the most important out of all of it. Emotional attachments can also hinder healthy decision making. I know this because I was informed in the text, “People are often very attached to the status quo. Decisions tend to involve the prospect of change, which many people find difficult.” This makes sense to me as well, people find it difficult when decisions involve the prospect of change.  It’s very important to make decisions with the proper processes. I remember the time where my friend couldn’t decide if she should take her dog to the vet or not but she told me the she just kind of felt like she should. Her intuition told her that she needed to take her dog to the vet. Once she did, she was glad because her dog had a serious health problem going on and if she would have not of brought him to the vet he could have gotten worse. I’m glad she used her intuition in that situation.
